Re: Labeling Requirements per Industry Canada

2008-10-10 Thread Grace Lin
Thank you very much, Kevin and others.
 
In addition, IC recommends a Canadian representative signed letter accompanies
each application to speed up the certification process.
 
An IC officer gave me the following labeling clarification:
 
1. If a marketing company would like to use the OEM's ID number, the marketing
company is allowed to use its name (marketing company name).  However, the
name of the certificate holder (OEM), model number, and ID number must in an
user accessible location (such as battery compartment).
 
2.  If a marketing company would like to use its own ID (not expose any
original manufacturer's information), a marketing company requests an
authorization letter from the OEM and file "multiple listing" with the IC.

My understanding is that model number and brand name on the 
label need to
match the information related to the IC number that is detailed on Canada's
Radio Equipment List (REL) ... follow the link on the left side of Industry
Canada's wireless certification page ht
p://strategis.ic.gc.ca/epic/site/ceb-bhst.nsf/en/h_tt00010e.html

There are ways to get variants with a new model number with the 
same brand
name (family listing) or different brand name (multiple listing) onto the REL
but these do require that an application be filed and, in the case of a
multiple listing, the new company have a Canadian Company Number.

Dear Dennis and Others,
 
Thank you very much for your reply online and offline.  I contacted Industry
Canada as suggested.  IC refers to RSP-100 for an answer.  I excerpt a section
below for your reference.

5.3 Multiple Listing 

 

Multiple listing of a certified model is required when a manufacturer or
distributor wishes to list under its name and unique model number, certified
equipment of an original equipment manufacturer (OEM). 

 

A model of equipment may be multiple-listed to other manufacturers or
distributors based upon the approval granted to the original applicant and
certificate holder. 

 

In order to obtain a multiple-listing certification, the following
documentation must be submitted to the Bureau: 

 

(a) the model number and certification number of the approved equipment; 

 

(b) a signed letter from the original applicant and certificate holder
authorizing the Department to use information on file to grant a
multiple-listing certification. The name/model number and certification number
of the radio equipment must be shown. The letter must also declare that the
model to be multiple-listed is identical in design and construction to the
originally approved model; 

 

(c) a letter, from the applicant, requesting the certification; 

 

(d) completed and signed original copies of Appendix A and Appendix B; 

 

(e) completed and signed copies of Appendix A and Appendix B of RSS-102 -
Radio Frequency Exposure Compliance of Radiocommunication Apparatus (All
Frequency Bands); and 

 

(f) a drawing, sample or illustration of the product label.

meet this condition, the information can be included in the user manual upon
agreement with Industry Canada. 

The label for medical implants which are designed to be used within the human
body, can be placed on the package and user manual.

The certification number is made up of a Company Number (CN) assigned by the
Bureau followed by the Unique Product Number (UPN), assigned by the applicant.

The certification number shall appear as follows: 

"IC: XX-YYY" 

Where: 


*   "XX-YYY" is the certification number; 
*   "XX" is the Company Number (CN) assigned by Industry Canada, made 
of at
most 6 alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9), including a letter at the end of
the CN to distinguish between different company addresses; 
*   "YYY" is the Unique Product Number (UPN) assigned by the 
applicant,
made of at most 11 alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9); and 
*   the letters "IC" have no other meaning or purpose than to identify the
Industry Canada certification number. 

Permitted alphanumerical characters used in the CN and UPN are limited to
capital letters (A-Z) and digits (0-9). An example of the new format for a
company having a CN of "21A" and wishing to use a UPN of "WILAN3" would thus
be: IC: 21A-WILAN3. Each equipment model shall be explicitly identified. The
use of characters, such as #, / or -, in the certification number is not
allowed. The use of "wild card" characters in the model number (for the
purpose of identifying multiple models with one name) is not allowed.

Equipment that has received certification but is not labelled with the
applicant's name, model number and the certification number as outlined above
is not considered certified.

Category II equipment shall be labelled in accordance with the requirements of
RSS-310.
